Information Kit

The Friends of Quarantine Station committee was formed when negotiations were underway between the National Parks and Wildlife Service and a hotel developer. The National Parks and Wildlife Service plan to sign a headlease agreement to give this developer the right to manage the Quarantine Station for 45 years.

The Friends of Quarantine Station are concerned that this agreement will severely limit public access to this heritage site.
